Pondering on Goodies...and the Virtues of Men




It's cold and rainy here, the perfect time to sit and go through my cookbooks and "ponder" what kind of dessert would taste good. As I type this, I'm popping mini cream puffs that we found at Sams Club...bad girl...LOL...but they're pretty Good! Crystal suggested dipping them in chocolate. I think that's an excellent suggestion! I Also found a recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies! It's a bit too much to start on tonight but I do think I'll give them a whirl tomorrow. Nothing like chocolate with peanut butter.
Friday was hell on wheels at work...for me at least! I had to deal with TWO, IDIOT, chauvinistic males on the phone...One had been a mayor for some pothole city with the attitude of, "Do You Know Who I Am?" The Other one thought that even though he was The Supreme Male of The Universe, I wasn't suppose to ask for his....Wait For IT...phone number! Yes...I simply asked for his phone number. WELL...No one needs his number!! The Owner has his number and That's Good enough!! Well, I now had "his number" and it Wasn't pretty. SO...after an afternoon of all the guys laughing and having a high time at My expense, I came home. Not a happy camper. WHY do people have to be crappy??? Just be nice...We're in business to help people...and yes, I'm JUST a women, but I CAN HELP!!LOL....Gads, I'm getting pissed all over again...Hahaha.
Enough of that! Hope you all have had a wonderful day and are planning something Wonderful to munch on...Have a Great and Happy night!!!

I think you really deserved those treats after that day.

SquirrelQueen said...

Yum, those brownies look delicious but I scrolled past them quickly, twice!

I would rather be 'just a woman' any day than one of those arrogant males. After a day like that take two chocolates and call me in the morning.

Hugs,
Judy

Some people are just assholes...don't get you blood pressure up over that...but I know it hard not to.

Donna ...we need a plumber for our little rental house...and no one wants to come because we are to cheap to pay 85.00 bucks an hour. ouch...I know. Gord is in the service industry but...85.00 bucks an hour...holy moly. What's the range in the US?

Labor, trip, gas...etc. As you know, some people think of the plbr just Doing the call right there on there kitchen floor...or where ever..."God That's High!!"

RNSANE said...

Heavens, chocolate with peanut butter frosting in the same bite...sheer delight. I must try that recipe before the holidays are over.

Ann said...

Nothing beats the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. And what better way to ease the frustrations from irritating men who think they are Gods gift.

DHV said...

Hi Donna, I know where you're coming from. I've come across more idiots like that than I care to count. Thank goodness for chocolate and peanut butter!
